Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box technology, and in particular to a connection and reinforcement structure that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, whether it's shopping, moving, or traveling, the issue of packing is always a concern. We choose different packing boxes for different types of items. However, many uncontrollable factors during normal use can significantly shorten the lifespan of packing boxes. These include irreversible deformation caused by stacking multiple boxes, items scattering due to poor stability during transport, and wear and tear on the edges of the boxes. Therefore, it is necessary to use connectors to reinforce the box panels, thereby improving the structural strength of the packing boxes and extending their service life.

[0003] Currently, common hardware connectors are attached to the box panel by pressing to increase overall strength. However, this connection method makes it difficult to separate the connector from the box panel later, which seriously affects the subsequent recycling and disposal of the box. Furthermore, traditional pressing methods require specialized pressing machines, which are relatively complex to operate and also pose safety hazards and risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a connection and reinforcement structure that is easy to install and disassemble, in order to solve the problem that the hardware connectors in the prior art use a press-fit connection method, which is not convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0022] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment provides a connection and reinforcement structure that is easy to assemble and disassemble, including a box plate 2 and a connector body 1. The connector body 1 includes a connecting plate 11 and clamping plates 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 11. The connector body 1 is an integrally formed metal part. Two protrusions 13 are stamped on each side of the clamping plate 12. The protrusions 13 face the inner surface of the clamping plate 12 and are staggered. The box plate 2 is provided with mounting holes 21 that cooperate with the protrusions 13.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting plate 11 and the clamping plate 12 are separated by a scribing line 14 or a groove. The scribing line 14 or groove is located on the outer surface of the clamping plate 12. By setting the scribing line 14 or groove, the clamping plate 12 can be easily bent, serving as a guide and preventing the folded clamping plate 12 from tilting. When the connecting body 1 is connected to the box plate 2, the clamping plate 12 is folded inward along the direction of the scribing line 14 or groove, so that the protrusions 13 on the clamping plate 12 are embedded in the mounting holes 21 of the box plate 2, realizing the connection between the connecting body 1 and the box plate 2. At the same time, after folding, all the protrusions 13 are on the same straight line.

[0026] Furthermore, the clamping plate 12 has a through hole 15, which is strip-shaped and arranged along the groove or score line 14 on one side. The through hole 15 not only facilitates the folding of the clamping plate 12, but also allows bolts to be installed in the through hole 15, further strengthening the connection between the connector body 1 and the box plate 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the width of the connecting plate 11 is the same as the thickness of the box plate 2, so that the angle between the clamping plate 12 and the connecting plate 11 after bending inward is 90°, making the structure more stable.

[0028] Furthermore, both the connecting plate 11 and the clamping plate 12 are rectangular, and the length of the connecting plate 11 is the same as the length of the clamping plate 12.

[0029] Furthermore, the protrusion 13 is a circular protrusion 13, and the mounting hole 21 is a mating circular hole. The design of the circular protrusion 13 and the circular hole makes stamping and drilling more convenient and easier to match.

[0030] Furthermore, the two corners of the outer edge of the clamp 12 are rounded.

[0031] Instructions for use: When installing the connector body, manually align the connecting plate of the connector body with the box panel, and then bend the clamping plate inward along the scored line or groove direction so that the protrusion on the clamping plate embeds into the mounting hole on the box panel. No additional pressing operation is required. After installation, the connector body and the box panel are firmly connected and not easily detached. When disassembling the connector body, use a screwdriver or other simple tools to pry open the clamping plate, allowing the protrusion to disengage from the mounting hole. This allows for easy separation of the box panel and the connector body, facilitating subsequent sorting and recycling.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please see Figure 3-5 This embodiment provides a convenient assembly and disassembly connection and reinforcement structure, including a box plate 2 and a connector body 1. The box plate 2 has an "L"-shaped protrusion on one side. The connector body 1 includes a connecting plate 11 and clamping plates 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 11. The connector body 1 is an integrally formed metal part. The clamping plates 12 are "L"-shaped and cooperate with the "L"-shaped protrusion. The length of the clamping plates 12 near the connecting plate 11 is greater than the length of the clamping plates 12 away from the connecting plate 11. Two protrusions 13 are stamped on each side of the clamping plates 12. The protrusions 13 face the inner surface of the clamping plates 12 and are staggered. The box plate 2 has mounting holes 21 that cooperate with the protrusions 13.

[0034] In summary, the connector of this utility model has a simple structure, which can meet different usage needs such as connecting box panels and reinforcing weak points of box panels. Furthermore, when installing the connector, it can be folded along the scored lines or grooves and manually installed onto the box panel, which is convenient and does not require additional pressing. The connection is also stable and not easily detached. When removing the connector, it can be easily pried open with a screwdriver or other simple tools, making it easy to separate the box panel and connector, facilitating subsequent sorting and recycling. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
